Where Faith, Simplicity and Abundant Life Meet​

The cabin folks

Jeff and I grew up in the same small town. Married young, struggled for a time with infertility but eventually started a family, and were blessed with three children - in five years. When God steps in, it's with a boom! Our firstborn daughter, Rebekah (in retail) and husband Jimmy (a jeweler) have three children: Jack, Cora, and Vera -- three amazing gifts from God. Our second child, son, Eli, is a woodworker, musician and an outdoorsman. Our youngest is Sarah, is in retail management. We are immensely proud of them all! To say that God has been good to us is indeed an understatement. Having raised our family in beautiful northwest Florida, He then permitted us to "retire" to a tranquil plot of land on the Little Tallapoosa River in east central Alabama, just north of Wedowee. We built a small cabin near the river where I teach about simple, chemical-free living, essential oils, and faithfully continue to grow my circle of oily friends by sharing with others the wonders of healthy living and Young Living products.

NOTE: While this synopsis of 36 years of marriage makes life sound easy, I hope you know it's NOT. Losing parents, experiencing miscarriage, having your husband/best friend/breadwinner receive a diagnosis of epilepsy at age 48, on top of all the usual stresses of life is only overcome by the love and grace of God, faithful witness from the other Jesus people in your life, and a little elbow grease.

We're just regular people. Not fancy or anything. ​Met a wonderful photographer for family pictures that resulted in the one you see here.

My Oily Story

My oily story began when I met my neighbor (who was soon to be a friend and oil mentor), Melissa. At that time my home was filled with yuck. No, I don't mean it was "dirty," because actually I prided myself on having a clean home but it was filled with toxic chemical-filled cleaning products. Young Living changed all that with the introduction of Thieves Household Cleaner. During this time a few revelations occurred which completely sold me on Young Living Essential Oils. I'll name them here and would love to tell you more over coffee sometime soon. First was RC (gifted to me by Melissa when she saw I really needed it), then it was a wonderful blend called Relieve It (which I purchased after extensive research), and last - but maybe the best - I discovered the true worth of frankincense essential oil. Oh my. The secret in my skincare regimen has been revealed. You want to know more about this and I would love to share my "secret" with you! Many blessings to you, my friend!
